TECHNICAL INFORMATION DATA SHEET TI2124 Issued 6-94 Copyright, Eastman Kodak Company, 1994 EASTMAN EXR 200T Film 5287, 7287 1) Description EASTMAN EXR 200T Film 5287 (35 mm) and 7287 (16 mm) is a medium-high speed tungsten-balanced color negative camera film with microfine grain, very high sharpness, and high resolving power. It features lower overall contrast and an additional reduction in toe contrast, which provides a significant increase in underexposure latitude and shadow detail. In addition, shadow detail and density of blacks can be varied by changing exposure. Exposing at the recommended rating of EI200 results in reproduction of true blacks as black, and near blacks, or shadow information, as less dense. Shadow areas look more open. Exposing the film at EI160 provides more blacks with higher shadow contrast, more like other EXR films. Exposing at EI250 to EI400 results in less dense blacks and lower shadow contrast. This film also offers excellent underexposure safety factor and shadow detail for telecine transfer. 5287/7287 Film reproduces a wide range of colors for increased performance in special-effects applications. 2) Base EASTMAN EXR 200T Film 5287 and 7287 has an acetate safety base with rem-jet backing. 3) Darkroom Recommendations Do not use a safelight. Handle unprocessed film in total darkness. 4) Storage Store unexposed film at 13 C (55 F) or lower. For extended storage, store at -18 C (0 F) or lower. Process exposed film promptly. Store processed film according to the recommendations in NAPM IT9.11-1992: for medium-term storage (minimum of ten years), store at 10 C (50 F) or lower at a relative humidity of 20 to 30 percent; for extended-term storage (for preservation of material having permanent value), store at 2 C (35 F) or lower at a relative humidity of 20 to 30 percent. For active use, store at 25 C (77 F) or lower, at a relative humidity of 50 +/- 5 percent. This relates to optimized film handling rather than preservation; static, dust-attraction and curl-related problems are generally minimized at the higher relative humidity. After usage, the film should be returned to the appropriate medium- or long-term storage conditions as soon as possible. For more information about medium- and long-term storage, see NAPM IT9.11-1992, and KODAK Publications No. H-1, EASTMAN Professional Motion Picture Films (1992 Edition) and No. H-23, The Book of Film Care (1992 Edition). 5) Exposure Indexes Tungsten (3200K) - 200/24 Daylight 1-125/22 Use these indexes with incident- or reflected-light exposure meters and cameras marked for ISO or ASA speeds or exposure indexes. These indexes apply for meter readings of average subjects made from the camera position or for readings made from a gray card of 18-percent reflectance (such as one of the KODAK Gray Cards, KODAK Publication No. R-27) held close to and in front of the subject. For unusually light- or dark-colored subjects, decrease or increase the exposure indicated by the meter accordingly. 1 With a KODAK WRATTEN Gelatin Filter No. 85.
Data Sheet 2 Copyright, Eastman Kodak Company, 1994 TI2124 Issued 6-94 6) Color Balance These films are balanced for exposure with tungsten illumination (3200K). You can also expose them with tungsten lamps that have slightly higher or lower color temperatures (+/- 150K) without correction filters, since final color balancing can be done in printing. For other light sources, use the correction filters in the table below.

Make final corrections during printing. 2 These are starting-point recommendations for trial exposures. If the kind of lamp is unknown, a KODAK Color Compensating Filter CC 40R can be used with an exposure index (EI) of 100/21. NOTE: Consult the manufacturer of high-intensity ultraviolet lamps for safety information on ultraviolet radiation and ozone generation. 7) Exposure Table-Tungsten Light At 24 frames per second (fps), 170-degree shutter opening: Lens Aperture f/1.4 f/2 f/2.8 f/4 f/5.6 f/8 f/11 f/16 Footcandles Required 12.5 25 50 100 200 400 800 1600 Use this table for average subjects that contain a combination of light, medium, and dark colors. When a subject includes only pastels, use at least 1/2 stop less exposure; dark colors require 1/2 stop more exposure. Lighting Contrast - The recommended ratio of key-light-plus-fill-light to fill light is 2:1 or 3:1. However, you may use 4:1 or greater when a particular look is desired.
Data Sheet 3 Copyright, Eastman Kodak Company, 1994 TI2124 Issued 6-94 8) Reciprocity Characteristics You do not need to make any filter corrections or exposure adjustments for exposure times from 1/1000 to 1 second. 9) Processing Most commercial motion-picture laboratories provide a processing service for these films. There are no packaged chemicals available for preparing the processing solutions. See KODAK Publication No. H-24.07, Manual for Processing EASTMAN Color Films, Process ECN-2 Specifications, Module 7, for more information on the solution formulas and the procedure for machine processing these films. Normal processing is recommended for all exposure levels of this film. 10) Identification After processing, the product code numbers 5287 (35 mm) or 7287 (16 mm), emulsion and roll number identification, KEYKODE numbers, and internal product symbol (W) are visible along the length of the film. 11) Laboratory Aim Density (LAD) To maintain optimum quality and consistency in the final prints, the laboratory must carefully control the color timing, printing, and duplicating procedures. To aid in color timing and curve placement, negative originals should be timed relative to Laboratory Aim Density (LAD) Control Film supplied by Eastman Kodak Company. 2 The LAD Control Film provides both objective sensitometric control and subjective verification of the duplicating procedures used by the laboratory. In the LAD Control Method, 3 the electronic color analyzer used for color timing is set-up with the LAD Control Film to produce a gray video display of the LAD patch, corresponding to 1.0 neutral density (gray) on the print. The negative printing original is then scene-to-scene timed. There are specific LAD values for each type of print or duplicating film that the original can be printed on. For print films, the LAD patch is printed to a neutral gray of 1.0 visual density. For duplicating films, the specified aims are at the center of the usable straight-line portion of the sensitometric curve of the film. 12) Film-To-Video Transfers When you transfer the film directly to video, you can set up the telecine using the negative Telecine Analysis Film (TAF) supplied by EASTMAN Kodak Company. The TAF consists of a neutral density scale and an eight-bar color test pattern with a LAD gray surround. The TAF gray scale provides the telecine operator (colorist) with an effective way to adjust subcarrier balance and to center the telecine controls before timing and transferring a film. The TAF color bars provide the utility of electronic color bars, even though they do not precisely match the electronically generated color bars. Using the TAF will help obtain optimum quality and consistency in the film-to-video transfer. For more information regarding TAF, see KODAK Publication No. H-9, TAF User's Guide. 13) Image Structure The modulation-transfer curves, the diffuse rms granularity, and the resolving-power data were generated from samples of 5287 Film exposed with tungsten light and processed as recommended in Process ECN-2 chemicals. For more 2 Direct any inquiries to one of the regional sales offices. 3 Use of the LAD Control Method is described in the paper, "A Simplified Motion-Picture Laboratory Control Method for Improved Color Duplication," by John P. Pytlak and Alfred W. Fleischer in the October 1976 SMPTE Journal.

The film was exposed with the specified illuminant to spatially varying sinusoidal test patterns having an aerial image modulation of a nominal 60 percent at the image plane, with processing as indicated. In most cases, the photographic modulation-transfer values are influenced by development-adjacency effects and are not equivalent to the true optical modulation-transfer curve of the emulsion layer in the particular photographic product.
